It’s sleeting today in NYC, which is actually God sobbing because he missed the Meatball Takedown! Sorry God, you weren’t the only one, and these Takedowns sell out pretty quick, because they are VERY POPULAR!!! And a January Takedown is literally the only good thing that happens during what scientists commonly refer to as “The Crappiest Month”. No big woop because the Ice Cream Takedown is coming up this summer, and I know you guys are poised like pythons of pure hate for that next Brooklyn Takedown! Word up!!!!
Thanks to all the Meatballerz. You filled the Bell House with 6000+ meatballz, and according to the register, you all also drank a ton of awesome booze!!!! The Bell House loves you back!!! Man, was that a party!!! Seriously, I kind of think Meatballz is my new favorite takedown!
And now, without further ado, let’s all check out the meatballerz and their recipes!!!! Continue reading

FACT: For your information and for trivia purpose or a conversation starter, DID YOU KNOW? if you took all the cookies at the takedown and stacked them in a pile, they would go into the outer space! That is actually not true, but what if!!??? It did SEEM like a lot of cookies, especially if you ate all thirty and also the free egg nog because in the holiday season you will be forced over and over to be deeply irresponsible at parties. January is always a time of regret and exercise but December is the best!
FACT: My (matt timms in case you don’t know me) birthday is december 29. !!!!!
FACT: Guys- the Bell House is awesome- but you already knew that. Get there for all the funnest shows. THANK YOU to Bulleit Bourbon for all the fun drinkz- and the brilliant prizes.

CATEGORY: General10 years of America’s #1 pot of importance. I said it before, and I’ll say it again: Chefs are psychopaths, and you can look it up. Stay. Away. On the other hand, home cooks are sweet and cool, and you can trust them. You should party with them, because they are never stinkazoidical. Let’s turn off the TV and ask: who’s really actually more awesome? Perfect home chili freaks, or some guaranteed-totally-awful person on the Food Channel?
Chili Takedowns have morphed into bacon, cookie, salsa, jerky, mac and cheeze, curry, avocado, fondue, tofu, lamb Takedowns- but the Chili TD has always been GOD OF SEX for you. I’d write more, but I’m numb with love. Also jetlagged, and I think my brain is smaller tonight… doy!
Pics up at SERIOUS EATS and BROOKLYN EXPOSED!
Thank you, Brooklyn Takedownerz. You’re the besto. Here they are, in all their glory…>>>> Continue reading
CATEGORY: GeneralSOLD OUT!
The Chili Takedown means never having to say you’re sorry for plundering the earth with chili. Never looking over your shoulder to see if you burned the wrong village. Never regretting 10 years of expanding people’s minds with a can opener, explaining that there are, nor never ever should be rules in chili.
That’s right!!!!! 10 whole years of partying so hard with America’s favorite pot of hatred!!!! Let’s celebrate that November 18, 2PM at The Bell House!!! You are tasked with eating 30 chilis, all from mostly veteran local takedownerz, to vote on the Most Important.
(This time, I, Matt Timms am on the poster. As if if I am a god. Truly, I am the very embodiment of chili, and it’s potentiality. Thank you to artist Aaron Augenblick of Augenblick Studios, for making me as a dreadful chili monolith with powers!!!)
T SHIRTS WILL BE AVAILABLE!!!! GET YOURS THERE!!!!!!!
Want to try all the chili? Tickets HERE!!!
